The Judgment Day Half Marathon, 10K & 5K Run/Walk takes place in Bakersfield, California, in early October. All race distances start and finish at Sam Lynn Ballpark, utilizing the Kern River Trail. This event serves as the final race in the Run The Valley Series, making it suitable as a standalone competition or a series finale. The half marathon and 10K begin before the 5K, and a virtual half marathon option is also available. The half marathon is 13.1 miles on mixed terrain, including paved sections, dirt trails, and an ascent to Panorama Bluffs before returning to Sam Lynn Ballpark. The 10K begins inside the ballpark, follows the paved Kern River Trail, then diverts to a dirt path up Bluff Hill before finishing back at the ballpark. The 5K is a straightforward, flat out-and-back course entirely on the paved Kern River Trail, ideal for walkers, beginners, or those aiming for a consistent pace. Race day amenities include aid stations with water, Electrolit, and GU, live results via phone, RaceJoy tracking, complimentary race photos, music, breakfast, La Rosa's Fruit Bars, finisher medals, and awards for age groups and overall finishers, plus a post-race beer garden.

The Bakersfield Turkey Day Run begins Thanksgiving morning at The Park at River Walk in Bakersfield, California. It offers a timed 5k run/walk, an untimed 1-mile walk, and a virtual option. In-person races commence at 8:00 a.m. Free parking, race-day packet pickup, and a discount for children age 9 and under simplify participation for families before their holiday meal. The organizer provides limited route specifics beyond the River Walk park location, suggesting the event's appeal lies more in its holiday theme than a renowned course. Participants receive a long-sleeve Thanksgiving shirt, a finisher medal, and donuts upon completion. Prior to the races, attendees can enter costume and Gobble & Strut contests, and a Spirit Award recognizes the largest registered group. The 5k includes age-group awards and overall male and female prize money. Proceeds benefit Bakersfield's CAPK Food Bank.

Children 10 and under receive a reduced registration fee, and individuals can register or form teams. The event commemorates Shaylyn Anela Pinoliar and is organized by Spreading Help Around You, a nonprofit established in her memory. This organization assists families coping with the loss of a loved one, educates them on preparedness for such events, serves the local community, advocates for pedestrian safety, and manages the SHAY Scholarship Program. Race-day features include event shirts, finisher medals for the first 150 participants, race bibs, awards, and raffle announcements.
